California Wrongful Death Claims – Two Paths to Justice
In California, wrongful death lawsuits typically involve two distinct but related claims:
Wrongful Death Claim:
This claim seeks compensation for the surviving family members’ personal losses due to their loved one’s death. Compensation may include:
- Emotional pain and suffering from the loss of a loved one
- Loss of financial support from the deceased
- Loss of companionship, guidance, and care provided by the deceased
Survival Action:
This claim is brought on behalf of the deceased’s estate to recover damages the deceased could have claimed if they had survived the accident. Compensation may include:
- Medical expenses incurred between the injury and death
- Lost income and future earnings
- Burial and funeral costs
- Pain and suffering experienced by the deceased before passing (if death was not immediate)
What Damages Can You Recover?
A wrongful death lawsuit can help your family recover a wide range of damages, including:
- Hospital and medical expenses
- Funeral and burial costs
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering for surviving family members
- Loss of companionship, guidance, and services
